MacBook Air Coming Next Week

by Kristy Korcz 1

It's fairly obvious that we're going to be getting a sneak peek at the next Apple operating system next week, but what else is on the way? Personally, I've been rooting for a new MacBook Air, and it seems that I may get my wish.

A source "close to Apple's press conference agenda" says that a new MacBook Air may be revealed next week, one that will come with a smaller size and price tag. Find out more after the break.

The rumored MacBook Air may come with a smaller 11.6-inch screen, longer battery life, and a price that will be "significantly lower" than the $1,400 sticker price it boasts now. Other rumors indicate the new MacBook Air could weigh as little as 2.7 pounds, come with something called an "SSD Card" (which would replace the conventional HHD or SSD disk drives and allow the unit to be smaller in overall size), and come with defined edges and a wedge-shaped side profile.

Are you looking forward to seeing an updated MacBook Air?
